AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE MILLICENT LIBRARY IN THE TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to authorize forthwith the commonwealth to convey a certain parcel of land in the city of Fitchburg to the city of Fitchburg, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding chapter 392 of the acts of 1893 or any other general or special law to the contrary, the state treasurer shall transfer the principal and any interest accrued on the amounts held in trust pursuant to said chapter 392 as of the effective date of this act to The Millicent Library, a nonprofit corporation in the town of Fairhaven. The funds shall be maintained in accordance with the terms of the gift by Henry H. Rogers of New York for the benefit of The Millicent Library.
SECTION 3. The state treasurer shall file a report with the clerks of the house of representatives and the senate detailing the amount of funds paid to The Millicent Library under section 2 and the date of receipt of the funds by The Millicent Library.
